Deposit Question

[AzureSun]

Has anyone else had the problem of the credit card company wanting MA to call them to verify the deposit? I have deposited many times before with the same card and now this happens. I sent in a support case asking if it is even possible and will let other know what happens. Darn credit company I want my copy of the Entropian.
Good luck all and have fun.

I heard someone complaining of something similar yesterday and I mentioned it in IRC. Then I crashed and the guy left. :/

Visa or Mastercard told him that they are witholding payment becsue he was a new card user and they classified PE as a gambling venture. Its their policy to protect thier new card holders from going into debt by online gambling.

If the dude who was in PA chatting to me yesterday sees this please post all the details.

Yeah, Bank of America for example will not process any payments to Mindark. It seems they have MA classified in the same manner, but actually stated that they felt MA was a "Fraudulent Merchant" and wouldn't do business with them on behalf of protecting their clients.

If Visa and Mastercard are saying the same thing, then it won't be long before most, if not all, of the major credit card companies and banks adopt the same posture towards Mindark.

Rough times ahead I predict.

time for banktransfers, like i have been doing from the start

Hmm, looks like people will have to use PaybyCash and other middle men for payment if the card companies continue this.

Well yeah, but of Bank of America (One of the biggest banks in the US) and Visa and Mastercard (Arguably the biggest credit card companies in the world) are adopting this posture then it won't be long before ALL banks take this stance...and bank transfers won't go either.

I hate using middlemen, but 2 of my 5 deposits since starting last December were through paybycash via Western Union payments.

Of course though my last deposit was April 15th of this year, and hopefully this won't be an issue for me since I don't plan on depositing again any time soon - unless of course I hit the lottery, my wife DOESN'T find out and MA releases another TI or Space Station - Even then probably not.

I suggest writing your financial institutions a letter stating that this is YOUR money and they work FOR YOU, if you don't get the services you require, then you will move your funds and/or business elsewhere.

It Works.

Yeah, that should go over well with Visa and Mastercard...I imagine they'll say, "Pffft! Don't let the door hit you in the ... on the way out." After all, where will you go without them?
